A piece of Italian sculpture capable of covering 200 miles in one hour has taken center stage this year at New York City’s Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, where Bob Greenberg, founder, chairman and CEO of the international advertising company R/GA, curated the museum’s 16th “Selects” exhibition.Read more: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/sensuous-blending-style-and-speed-ducati-both-art-and-machine-180969933/#s8FumkKf01Pw9RIA.99http://bit.ly/1cGUiGvFollow us: @SmithsonianMag on Twitter

Since Fabio Taglioni introduced desmodromic valve timing in the 1950s, it’s been a hallmark of Ducati design. No valve springs and total timing control solved a lot of issues in the early days, but why does Ducati still use the technology, and how does it work?

Marco Melandri has two victories and five podiums this season in World Superbike on a factory Ducati. His teammate, Chaz Davies, finished second in both races this past weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Melandri didn’t fare as well, placing fifth in race 1 and crashing out of the second.

The Italian will ride alongside Andrea Dovizioso for the 2019 season

Ducati Corse has today confirmed that Danilo Petrucci (Alma Pramac Racing) will join the factory Ducati team on a one-year contract in 2019, which sees him join up with fellow Italian Andrea Dovizioso on an official GP19 next season.

Jorge Lorenzo’s departure to HRC has paved the way for Petrucci to make the step up to the factory team from the Alma Pramac squad, where he is currently riding a GP18 – the same as Dovizioso and Lorenzo. Now though, after an impressive start to the season, the 27-year-old will make Ducati an all-Italian line up for 2019. Petrucci will be aiming to build on the six podiums he’s already achieved on the Desmosedici machine, which include four second place finishes - most recently at Le Mans this year – as well as claiming that illustrious first win.

A major new competition for emerging talent in the custom scene. With prizes worth over $25,000 and a pair of Ducati donor bikes on offer, it’s a chance for two new builders to get a head start and make a name for themselves in front of Bike EXIF's global audience.

Peter Egan explains why the Ducati 900SS is one of the great used bikes you can buy and enjoy now

If the 1980s was the age of Disco, then you might say the 1990s was the age of Ducati—at least for those of us who like the music of big-bore Desmo V-twins from Italy.

For me and many of my ­riding friends, the bikes from Borgo Panigale are still perhaps the most enduring and colorful symbol of good times from that decade, as ­remembered through a lens of vibrant red or bright yellow—or maybe even ebony black, over a white trellis frame.

Ducati, of course, turned out an unbroken string of charismatic street- and racebikes in that era, but the one that really took the world by storm was the 900SS, introduced in 1991.

More than 100 years ago Intrepid Birdmen in aircraft cobbled together from anything they could find were taking to the skies in air races, this just a few years after aviation was even a thing. And just like ‘Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines’ a new breed of adrenaline junkies with the skills to build incredible contraptions are at it again. They’re called the ‘Sultans of Sprint’ and the asphalt 1/8th mile is the troposphere where they do battle, on bikes as bananas as those old planes. Very few fulfil that centuries old ethos like Belgium’s Bernard Mont and in 2018 he’s returned with a lay down and mash the gas, hub-centre steer Ducati. It’s known as Nowhere Faster.

In all the history of the Ducati Monster, nothing like this had ever been seen: which ensured the previous record (established in 2008 by the enthusiasts of the Monster Owners Belgium Club, with 405 bikes) was soundly beaten.

Ducati joins Stevie Bonsey and Lloyd Brothers Racing in the American Flat Track Grand National Series 2018

Ducati North America partners with The Dillard Family Racing / Lloyd Brothers Motorsports team to back former Grand Prix motorcycle racer Stevie Bonsey for ten rounds of the American Flat Track (AFT) championship. First race of their season will start with the Atlanta Short Track on Saturday, April 7 in Woodstock, GA at the Dixie Raceway.

Stevie Bonsey, one of the fiercest riders on the AFT circuit mounts his official comeback after a serious crash left the Salinas, CA native with a broken neck in 2016. Bonsey made an appearance at last year’s finale promptly battling up front and finishing just 0.041 seconds off the podium.

The bike is built around Ducati’s twin-cylinder four-valve liquid-cooled Testastretta 11° Monster 821 engine specifically set up for American Flat Track racing by the Lloyd Brothers Motorsports team and the support from Ducati and sponsorship from long-standing Ducati collector Jim Dillard.

Lloyd Brothers Motorsports has a history running Ducati-powered machines. History was made together in 2010 by snapping Harley-Davidson’s nearly two-decade winning streak with a victory at the Arizona Mile as a privateer effort. The expanded 2018 program with Bonsey at the controls shows a seriousness of winning intentions by all involved.

“I feel privileged to get a chance to ride of Lloyd Brothers Motorsports Ducati for the 2018 season, it’s going to be a challenging season with a class full of so much talent, but I truly believe we have a bike and a team more than capable of going out front.” Says Bonsey

Team co-owner David Lloyd said “We are very happy to have Ducati involved with both our team and the AFT series. Since 2010, we have been racing air-cooled Ducati two-valved engines and have managed a Main event win and podiums; we have now put together two proof–of–concept liquid cooled four-valve engine race bikes that have shown very well the few times on track. With our latest revisions, we are excited and thankful to have sponsorship to be able to race our Ducati Monster 821-powered machine this season with one of the most talented racers, Stevie Bonsey”

“We knew that this combination of Team, Rider and Bike would give the Ducati brand an opportunity to contend with the top in the field in the fastest growing motorcycle sport in the US. We’ve given our Ducati fans a team to cheer on and we’re excited to see progress in action as the season develops”, said Ducati North America CEO, Jason Chinnock.
